John,
In 2013 Alicia Garza wrote a message on Facebook -- "Black People. I love
you. I love us. Our lives matter". Almost immediately, a movement was born
out of her post with a hashtag -- #BlackLivesMatter.
This past year we have seen the movement for Black lives sweep across the
nation and the world. People are finally waking up to the systemic
oppression against people of color in America thanks to the Black Lives
Matter movement.
We are excited today to give you an exclusive opportunity to read Alicia
Garza’s book - "The Purpose of Power: How we come together when we fall
apart."
This book is an essential guide to building transformative movements to
address the challenges of our time, from one of the country’s leading
organizers and a co-creator of Black Lives Matter.

Wondering what progressive leaders are saying about the book?
"The Purpose of Power is a must-read. Anyone interested in turning the
page on our contemptible past toward a brighter future should put this
book on their reading list." - Congresswoman Barbara Lee
"Magnificent and engaging... this is a text everyone needs to be ready,
to discuss, to debate, to challenge, and to absorb. Alicia Garza is our
Ella Baker." - Melissa Harris-Perry
This book will reinforce your belief in our ability to come together
again, even after we have fallen very, very, far apart.
